Where I’ve traveled, the best meals are never rushed. That’s what an outdoor kitchen should do—slow things down, beautifully
There’s something ancient about cooking with open air and fire. We’re just refining it.


An outdoor kitchen is more than a place to cook—it’s where people gather. Schmechtig designs these spaces to flow naturally into pools, patios, and gardens, making it easy for guests to linger, laugh, and enjoy every moment together.
Designing for the outdoors means thinking beyond the grill. From the way guests move between pool and patio to where the laughter lingers, every element is placed with purpose.
